About Kern Campbell
Hi, I’m Kern Campbell, the founder, and voice behind Four Wheel Trends.
My passion for vehicles started at the age of 5 when I fell in love with my Grandfather’s Jeep Grand Wagoneer. However, it became a bit of an obsession in 1995 during high school when I got my first Jeep Wrangler YJ Sahara. It was love at first site!
Since then, I’ve had countless vehicles. Including 8 Jeep Grand Wagoneers, 2 Jeep YJ’s an LJ, and a Grand Cherokee. I’m not just a Jeep guy. I love trucks and SUVs from all manufacturers. I’ve owned Toyota 4Runners, Sequoias, Lexus GX’s, GMC Yukons, Chevy Suburbans, and more.
What you’ll find on Four Wheel Trends
Today my blog and brand, Four Wheel Trends, reflects a more diverse range of automotive resources for cars, trucks, SUVs, and Jeeps.
However, the site started out as MyJeepandMe.com, where I first blogged just about restoring old Jeeps. As a result of my knowledge about Grand Wagoneers, It got me featured in numerous publications, including Wikipedia, where I discussed how much classic Grand Wagoneers are worth.
As time went on, I expanded my writing coverage to all Jeeps. I’ve owned many Jeeps, including Wranglers, Grand Cherokees, and Grand Wagoneers. Today Four Wheel Trends covers the entire spectrum of vehicles. This being said, our content still focuses a great deal on the ability to drive your vehicle offroad for Overlanding and other general adventure activities.

Fun Facts About Kern
- The first car I drove was a 1984 Volvo 240 DL station wagon with 240,000 miles. Our family affectionately called it “Vinny Volvo.” I took that Volvo offroad and all over trying to make it die, so I had a reason to buy something else. However that Volvo never died. Eventually, I was able to move on to a newer vehicle, and “Vinny Volvo” was sold to a graduate student at Duke University for $900.
- I sold my first Jeep, a 1993 Jeep Wrangler Sahara, to help pay for my wife’s wedding ring. I still love my wife (and she hasn’t left) so it was a good trade, but I do miss that Jeep. I have another one just like it now, with a lot lower miles… but there is nothing quite like your first Jeep.
- My personal fleet of vehicles currently includes Two 1991 Jeep Grand Wagoneers, a 1993 Jeep Wrangler Sahara YJ, a 2006 Jeep Wrangler TJ Unlimited (aka; LJ), a 2011 Lexus GX 460, and a 2019 GMC Yukon SLT.
